Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the creation of a new team called “AWS Compute Services,” according to an internal email seen by Insider. This team aims to consolidate various services, including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and serverless products like Lambda, into a single organization.
EC2 allows customers to easily scale their cloud usage on AWS using virtual servers, while Lambda and other serverless products enable customers to run their applications on the cloud without managing servers. By combining these services, AWS aims to enhance alignment and understanding among teams, driving greater efficiency and value for customers.
The creation of the AWS Compute Services team coincides with the establishment of another team focused on helping customers leverage generative-AI technology on the AWS cloud. Deepak Singh, the vice president who previously oversaw AWS containers and serverless products, is leading this new AI organization.
David Brown, the vice president leading EC2 and heading the Compute Services organization, expressed optimism about the change in an email sent on May 25. He highlighted the increased alignment and understanding among teams, which will accelerate progress across various services and deliver more value to customers.
As part of the restructuring, Holly Mesrobian, the vice president of serverless and compute, now reports directly to David Brown. Mesrobian continues to oversee services such as the Elastic Container Service, Lambda, and the serverless computing fabric.
Barry Cooks, the vice president responsible for the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, now reports to David Brown as well. Jody Gibney, the general manager leading Elastic Container Registry, reports to Cooks.
Amazon declined to comment on the matter.
